The annual Negros Trade Fair, now on its 30th
year was featured in an article in the prestigious Advertising and Marketing
Philippines publication. Citing the remarkable resilience and perseverance of
the Negrense in the face of adversity, the article discloses the origins and
inspiration of the then nascent Association of Negros Producers (ANP).

The ANP, chose to harness the greatest resource of
Negros, its people. Combining newly learned skills, indigenous materials,
creativity and an indomitable spirit, the ANP launched its first Negros Trade
Fair at the Makati Carpark in 1985. Each year the Negros Trade Fair managed to
increase its participants, customers and product lines.Products ranging from baskets to mats,
woodcrafts, furniture and foodstuffs, the trade fair managed to bring and
highlight the culture and arts of Negros to Manila. It is therefore no surprise
that it has already remained as an awaited event every year.

The 30th Negros Trade Fair starts today,
September 16 to September 20, 2015 at the Glorietta Activity Center.
